Jury duty summons while waiting for oath ceremony!

[kcoyclay1 98]

I called today the number on the letter and spoke to a real person. Basically they said that even though I would become a citizen later, at this date I am not a citizen and therefore not eligible. So i returned the letter stating I was not eligible. Better wait for the next letter rather than being accused of false claim to US citizenship. Thanks to all, your advice was very good indeed.

Exactly my point. No GC holder should claim the duty of a citizen even with a pending oath date because the oath is what establishes and naturalizes GCs as citizens, No one knows what will happen on the scheduled oath ceremony day. Oath ceremony dates sometimes change as well. Just wait for the next letter. It will definitely come.

I agree with the previous poster that you'll have plenty of opportunities, so don't worry.

Each state has it's own rules. Texas uses the voter registration lists or expanded list provided by the Department of Public Safety (what other states call the Department of a Motor Vehicles). The statute specifically says that the lists need to exclude those who do not qualify, but who knows how thorough that process is... although in Texas your citizenship status is on file at the DPS.

Similar info should be readily available for other states.
